Vegan Dr Martens

Where can I find Vegan Doctor Martens?

Sorry if you've already had a thread like this before.

I've been looking all over and they are only on ebay very ocassionally and usually in mens sizes.

It's like :wall:

I used to have a pair but as far as I know theyve stopped making them :cry:
They have some UK size 2 or 15's left on http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/ but other than that Id say Ebay was your best bet

Yup, as far as I know, they stopped making them a while ago.

They don't carry vegan Doc Martens, but I highly recommend mooshoes.com. I have shopped there before, and their customer service and products were great! And, I do look rather spiffy in my new vegetan boots, if I do say so myself. ;)

They don't make them anymore. If you use the VB search command, you should be able to find loads of veg friendly shoe links from past discussions.

Which boots did you buy?

I'm wearing my purple Docs for the 7th winter in a row. Throwing them away (and not being able to replace them!) will break my heart. :(

Zappos has a huge selection of vegetarian shoes:

yeah, i have some from vegetarian shoes, but they stopped making them about two years ago, i think, when production was moved to china or something.

I got the Para Boot. :nana: The banana has nothing to do with it, I just like him. :D

Thanks for your great advice guys.

I will check out moo shoes.

:nana: :nana: I also like the Nana

Check out http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk and click on their 'airseal' range. They're pretty good copies of Doc Marten styles but vegan and not made in China.

Thanks Mr Falafel. I looked on vegetarian shoes and I decided to to get the combat boots.

My hair looks like this today because it is mad hair day at college for Comic Relief.

Excellent choice! I've been buying stuff from Vegetarian Shoes for years now. Good service!

my hair looks a fright today because I haven't been able to get to a barber shop for a few weeks today. Now I can just tell people it looks like that for Comic Relief :D

Damn, this just brakes my heart - literally. I have been looking for thes shoes and thought that these were the one's on vegetarian shoes. I bought my pair from them many years ago but have outgrown them. Realized when my order came today(bought another pair called airseal - very similair), that they weren't the same. Somewhat the same model, but different soles. The one from Dr. Martens are much more subtile. And then I looked on the internet and found this, too bad really - those shoes were great!
:sick:

[hoodedclawjen]

awww. did you contact them, and tell them how much you miss their old shoes?

if lots of people do, they're more likely to veiw it as economically viable to reinstate or design some new non-leather stuff.

[Justusson]

I actually did contact them telling them how much of a great shoe it really was, and if they were to continue them again, they would really reach quite a lot of customers. I think it's weird that they discontinued the production, but as I have read, it seemes to be due to the moving of production to China - and therefore loosing their partner. If it weren't for this I really think it would have been sold today still. If there's a demand, they will be sold again.
